A LEAP TO DEATH.
An Insane Man Jumps From the Roof
of His Dwelling.

Roman F. Reach, aged Gs years, COM
mitted suicide yesterday morning by delib-
erately throwing himself of the roof of his
house, 1906 street, into the adjoining alley.
A few months ago he was dismissed from
his position as messenger in the Treasury
Department, which place he had held for
twenty years. Since the dismissal he was
noticed to grow depressed in spirits, and
his wife was compelled to keep strict
watch on him. He got an idea that his pen
sion claim was excluded, and this seemed
TO have determined him in his purpose to
take his life. lie went twice TO the roof OF
the house during yesterday morning and
was prevented from doing any rash act by
his wife, but he managed a third time to
elude her vigilance and lock the door on
her. By great effort she reached the roof
only In time to see him throw himself of,
and she heard his heavy fail on the stoues
of the alley some twenty-five feet below.
Helping hands came quickly, but only to
find MIR. Reach corpse The deceased came
originally from Vermont. lie leaves wife
and three grown daughters. One of the
latter is married and lives In Nebraska.
Coroner Patterson gave a certificate that
death was due to coDoussiOn of the brain.

Visitors to the Aztec fair have all seen the
large topaz in the Mazimilian collection,
which. as is explained by the lecturer during

private seal. This Is one of the finest and
largest gems q its kind in the world, and its
intrinsic value Is very considerable. but its
main value now lies IN the solemn nlemoric
which surround It through it, association with
the sad history of the i'll lfated prince and poor

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: In your issue

fate of Il young man, Charles ID. Rolliugs
which publication know to be incorrect in
several particulars. ! have known Mr.. Roll
lings for number of years, being the family
physician, and he having been under my pro-
fessiopal care very recently for an attack of
remttent fever of several weeks duration,
which illness began on the 9th day of October
last, ard TO my knowledge he had not been
ont OF the house more than three times up to
the day of his death. Being well acquainted
with the family and the facts in the case [
know neither of the causes asserted In your
publication are correct. He became very
much depressed mentally during his last pro-
tIacted illness and dl SPARED of getting WE'LL
which resulted In deep state Of melancholy,
nnd, In my opinion, causing temporary nber-
ration of mind, in which condition he fired the
fatal shot. In Justice to the friends of the
young man and the bereayed family | ask that
